My thoughts about the game..
The Chargers’ offensive line is a mess. Eagles fans needn’t look further than San Diego picking up King Dunlap to man the all-important left tackle position —that didn’t work out so well for Philadelphia in the past. Rivers also lacks standout receivers to bail him out, which makes him a sitting duck back there.
Eagles defensive coordinator Bill Davis did a great job of disguising blitzes and bringing pressure from all over the place against Washington. They wound up hitting Robert Griffin III seven times in the victory, and the quarterback never got into a rhythm until late after Philly took their foot off the gas pedal.
If Davis can keep Rivers off balance with a similar game plan on Sunday, this game could become a rout. The Chargers simply appear to have a lot more glaring holes than the Birds at this stage of the season.
Any given Sunday .....but I predict a 10+ point win for the Eagles.

So the Eagles defense is better than Houstons? I rest my case.
The OL didn't look like a mess to me against a better front than you guys can offer. They actually did way better than expected. Ask JJ Watt. The pick six was a great play by Cushings. And the Chargers would have won if not for one dropped pass. (not going to mention the shitty call on the field goal)
What you guys really have going for you is, we have a short week, have to fly back east, and play at what is ten AM for us. I can't wait. LOL

Our front is pretty good. But not as good as Houston's. I do think your offense is worse than Washington's and your Defense is much worse also.

One of the DE we were counting on to help with the fast pace. Lassiter (or something like that) did not practice today. Geez hasn't even been on the team for a week. I hate injuries.

Our front is pretty good. But not as good as Houston's. I do think your offense is worse than Washington's and your Defense is much worse also. Our offense is better than what it was last year. Rivers was hardly touched, Mathews was running the ball, we held J.J. Watt in check and kept the Texans off balance with our no-huddle for most of the game. The reasons we lost last week, a game we were supposed to lose in the first place because we didn't have the firepower to win against Houston to begin with, is because Whisenhunt didn't bother to run the football when we still had the lead going into the fourth quarter, in order to kill the clock and keep the Texans off the field, and our defense is shallow. I'm expecting the Eagles to exploit the fact that we hardly have any depth when it comes to our defense, and Pagano's schemes seem to fall short when it comes to mobile QBs. Also, what you Eagles fans fail to understand is that as bad as Dunlap may have been for you guys, Mike Harris was worse. Harris was ranked dead-last out of 65 when it came to pass-protecting LTs and Dunlap was somewhere between 30 and 40 on that list. Dunlap has come in and owned the starting LT job from the second he came here and he did a decent job last week. Dunlap is only holding down the starting job at LT until we land a LT in next year's draft, thus shifting him down to a reserve/swing T role.
